Apologies for dropping back in so late, but it looks like your problem
has been solved.  I, on the other hand, have discovered that although
my incoming mail works fine, my outgoing smtp mail via gmail is not
working.  I thought it was, but apparently I'd still been sending it
out via pacbell.  So my settings in evolution are as described later
in this thread, with the exception that I can't set the outgoing port,
but I can't connect with the smtp server at gmail. I need to do a bit
more troubleshooting...
